## Overview
|
||
|
||
WebRTC uses DTLS in two ways:
|
||
|
||
* to negotiate keys for SRTP encryption using
|
||
[DTLS-SRTP](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5763)
|
||
* as a transport for SCTP which is used by the Datachannel API
|
||
|
||
The W3C WebRTC API represents this as the
|
||
[DtlsTransport](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#rtcdtlstransport-interface).
|
||
|
||
The DTLS handshake happens after the ICE transport becomes writable and has
|
||
found a valid pair. It results in a set of keys being derived for DTLS-SRTP as
|
||
well as a fingerprint of the remote certificate which is compared to the one
|
||
given in the SDP `a=fingerprint:` line.
|
||
|
||
This documentation provides an overview of how DTLS is implemented, i.e how the
|
||
following classes interact.
|
||
|
||
## webrtc::DtlsTransport
|
||
|
||
The [`webrtc::DtlsTransport`][1] class is a wrapper around the
|
||
`cricket::DtlsTransportInternal` and allows registering observers implementing
|
||
the `webrtc::DtlsTransportObserverInterface`. The
|
||
[`webrtc::DtlsTransportObserverInterface`][2] will provide updates to the
|
||
observers, passing around a snapshot of the transports state such as the
|
||
connection state, the remote certificate(s) and the SRTP ciphers as
|
||
[`DtlsTransportInformation`][3].
|
||
|
||
## cricket::DtlsTransportInternal
|
||
|
||
The [`cricket::DtlsTransportInternal`][4] class is an interface. Its
|
||
implementation is [`cricket::DtlsTransport`][5]. The `cricket::DtlsTransport`
|
||
sends and receives network packets via an ICE transport. It also demultiplexes
|
||
DTLS packets and SRTP packets according to the scheme described in
|
||
[RFC 5764](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5764#section-5.1.2).
|
||
|
||
## webrtc::DtlsSrtpTranport
|
||
|
||
The [`webrtc::DtlsSrtpTransport`][6] class is responsіble for extracting the
|
||
SRTP keys after the DTLS handshake as well as protection and unprotection of
|
||
SRTP packets via its [`cricket::SrtpSession`][7].
